You're Never Too Old to Play with Your Food

Presentation is everything!

I love it!

I Can Explain

 Me:  Elsa, why is your face so dirty?

Elsa:  I can explain, Mom.  

Me:  Oh?  What happened?

Elsa:  Well, there was a little critter outside.  I was chasing it and it ran under your car.  I had to go after it.

Me:  Did it get away?

Elsa:  Yes, it did.  

Me:  (quietly to myself)  Oh, good!

Happy Easter

Work in Process This Week - Baby Blanket and Turtle

 Good morning,

I'm working on another baby blanket and will make a turtle to match.  This will be available in the shop when finished.  We have many other items in the shop for babies, children, and adults ready to ship now.

I love the colors in this one.  My mind is always planning way ahead of how fast my fingers can crochet and knit.  I think this color combination will make a beautiful large afghan blanket.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?  I love hearing from you, seeing your blogs and learning about what you are making!  

 All the very best,

Lois

Childhood Memories - Dandy Lions and Violets

 Good morning,

Even the "weeds" bring wonderful memories of childhood.

I remember sitting in the fresh green grass at about eight years old with my friends and making dandelion and violet necklaces.  We also gathered bouquets of the flowers and took them inside to our Moms.  

My Mom was a wonderful lady.  She was always so happy and pleased when I brought her such presents as bouquets of weeds.  She would put them into a glass of water and make them the centerpiece on our dinner table. 

I was blessed to have a wonderful childhood.

All the best,

Lois

Garter Snake on Patrol

 Good morning,

Kjell snapped this image of a garter snake on our front porch.  He looks very well fed!

These characters are harmless and do a great deal of good in the garden.  They eat all the critters that eat our plants so we're happy to see them around.

Of course, the pups think they should keep all snakes out of the yard, but this one was smart enough to be in the front yard where the pups can't get to him. 

 Ah, yes, signs of Spring....

Today's Blossom - Red Tulip

 Good morning,

I love Spring!  Every morning I go outside to see the new blossoms.

Today I wasn't disappointed with this beautiful bright red tulip.  I planted this many years ago - perhaps 30 - and it returns to delight us every year.

Happy Spring!
